Fernado,

I have an excel spreedsheet that shows up fine by just linking to it.

Code: Select all

<a href="c:\name.xls">Link Name</a>
However, remember this only works for Internet Explorer! :(

Hi,

In and of themselves, links aren't client-dependent. If the client is aware of what do with an *.xls file, you shouldn't have a problem. Why not test and see?

If you want an IE-thingy, search http://msdn.microsoft.com for WScript and/or execCommand
